Question

• what is the typical distance between two adjacent pins on a 14-pin dual-in-line ic package?

Answer 1

A 14 pin dual-in-line IC package[14 DIL] is an integrated socket which is most popular form of IC package and has a wide range of application in digital electronics.

The 14-pin DIL has two pairs per side and each pair contains seven connecting pins.

The pairs of pins are arranged linearly one after another.The typical dimensions of width is 6.5 mm and the typical dimension of length is 18 mm.

we are asked to calculate the typical distance between two adjacent pins.

The typical distance between two adjacent pins is calculated as-

                                                                 $Typical\ distance =\frac{dimensional\ length}{number\ of\ pins\ in\ each\ row}$

                                    $=\frac{18 mm}{7}$

                                    $= 2.5714 mm$    [ans]
